Well yes I realise that, but the table has a separate row for each bar type: for example I have M bars for which the table says:
"M - 366mm, 485mm outer, 1050mm inner"So what does the "366mm" refer to and is the inner really 565mm longer than the outer?
tertius-
366mm for the first section where it meets the cable gatherer, then 485mm to the caliper, 1050mm inner seems right, you'll trim the excess off anyway.
Fiver in the post plz... ;)

The front cables are split into two pieces for the cable gatherer.
The lower section is the same regardless of bar/stem type.
The inner has to sit from the adjuster to the nipple. Through the cable gatherer and the last section of the brake, plus excess.

Different bars and stems mean different cable lengths.
